Lake Ridge Elementary School

Mrs. LaBarbera has been having an incredible summer adventure in Greece and Turkey! ☀️🌍 Her trip has included visiting the historic library at Ephesus, exploring the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens, and taking in the beautiful views of Santorini. She even walked 588 steps down the hillside in Santorini!

Mrs. LaBarbera also visited a fun Alice in Wonderland themed restaurant in Athens and enjoyed a beautiful sunset in Turkey. What an amazing summer filled with history, culture, and unforgettable memories! 💚📚✨

Congratulations to Lake Ridge students Malachi Eads and Mason Montagnari for their outstanding performances in the ETSU Science Fair! 🔬💚 Malachi earned 1st place in 4th Grade Physical Science, and Mason earned 2nd place in 5th Grade Biological Science.

🦕📚 Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Barter, and Mrs. Lujan had a dino-mite time at the opening day of the Johnson City Public Library’s Unearth a Story Summer Reading Challenge! Along with their little readers, they enjoyed exploring all the fun activities, including adopting a dinosaur, creating paleontologist badges, coloring dinosaurs, digging for discoveries at the excavation site, and posing for pictures at the themed photo booth. It was the perfect way to kick off a summer filled with books, learning, and adventure!

Don’t miss out on the fun! Families can sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge through the Johnson City Public Library website or on Beanstack. 🦖✨
